i have a system monitor applet in one of my panels to monitor CPU load.
When you click this applet, it opens up gnome-system-monitor. I’ve had this since 10.2.
But after i upgraded to 11.1, when i click the applet, it takes about 1 minute to openup gnome-system-monitor! i’m not joking, you even forget you clicked there when it finally opens.
I’ve seen this happen on 2 new installs (not upgrade, but new installation), but on both of these i upgraded my desktop definitions from GNOME included in 10.3. Everything else is working fine.
Does anyone have the same bug or is it just me? Any clues on how to solve it?
I guess it’s a common problem caused by that new «Hardware» page in gnome-system-monitor. The bad thing is that there is no way to disable it (or I didn’t found it) so it may be inspecting the hardware every time it starts. I have no idea why there is need to have such information in resource monitor if I can’t even do anything with it. It’s just a tree-list of hardware no more.
Guess it should be moved to any other app or removed at all, it’s useless and annoying. Also, I recommend htop for resource checking, it’s lightweight and console while g-s-m usually consumes processor time more than any other process, even X, lol.
